There could be several potential reasons that might be causing the game to lag or stutter on your console. The following are some fixes that you can try and see whether your experience improves.

Check for Game Updates

Sometimes, you might be playing the game, and a fresh update is queued for installation. This could lead to lagging. The best possible fix in such a scenario is to simply quit the game and let the update load. Restarting the game afterwards might resolve the lagging issue on your PS5. Even when there isn’t an update to speak of, exiting the game and relaunching it some time later can reduce any memory leaks that might have caused the lagging.

Use a Wired Connection to Your Router

In Diablo 4, you require a constant and stable internet connection to play. However, while using the internet wirelessly from your PS5 might be more convenient, it could also cause network disruptions. Slow internet connectivity can be a major reason that’s causing the lags. You can try a wired connection between your console and your router. This might fix your problem completely and ensure that the internet speeds are much more stable throughout.

Rebuild Your PS5 Database

You can do this by following the steps mentioned below:

Step 1: Shut down your PS5 using the power button.
Step 2: Once the console is completely powered down, press and hold the power button and release it once you hear the second beep.
Step 3: Connect your controller using wired mode and then press the PlayStation button on it.
Step 4: From the options that appear on screen, choose Rebuild Database.
